democratic. National convention in ad
journing out of respect to Mr. Cleveland's
memory should follow Mr. Bryan's ex
ample." Try to Snuff Out Parker.
Thr publication of the Parker reso
lution was a bombshell exploding in
the midst of the Bryan followers, and
steps were at once taken by members
of the committee on convention ar
rangements to head off Its introduction
In the convention. They were unani
mously of the opinion that It would
provoke a discussion and possibly a
tight, which they desired to avoid. Sev
eral members of the committee, who
did not care to be publicly quoted, did
not hesitate to say. however, .that in
their opinion an argument in the con
vention over such a resolution as this
would be disgraceful and Injure the
party In the eyes of the country.
It was therefore determined to take
immediate steps to ward off any such
possibility, and at the Instance of
Roger O. Sullivan, of Illinois, it was
decided to prepare a resolution which,
while honoring the memory of Mr.
Cleveland, would offer no opportunity
for acrimonious disputes in the con
vention. The Bryan people, having possession
of the temporary organization, decided
that the Cleveland resolution shall be
presented to the convention by a man
who will be recognized by Temporary
Chairman Bell immediately after the
conclusion of his speech. If Judge
Farker still desires to bring his resolu
tion before the convention, it must be
offered fw a substitute for the one
which will be presented by the Bryan
people.
Kaifre All Sorts of How.
Tt. M. Johnston, the Texas member
of the committee on convention ar
rangements, said today:
"If that Parker resolution Is intro
duced In the convention. It will raise
all sorts of a row. The friends of Mr.
Bryan do not propose that, under the
guise pf a resolution honoring Grover
Cleveland. Mr. Bryan shall he attacked
and his policies for the lat 12 years
held up to rebuke."
A less serious view was taken of
the Parker resolution by Krank M. Day,
secretary to Governor Johnson, and one
of the managers of his campaign. Mr.
Day said:
I certainly think that the conven
tion should adopt a resolution in honor
of Mr. Cleveland, and the one pre
pared by Judge Parker seems to me to
be entirely proper and to till the bill
completely."
At the Gray headquarter. Josiah
Marvel said that Mr. Cleveland was a
world character, and that hl memory
should be paid the highest possible
tribute. He had not read the Parker
resolution, and he said his attention
had not been called to the wisdom of
adopting it. After reading the resolu
tion Willi great care, Mr. Marvel said
he thought it open to criticism, and
that a resolution which did not rake
up issues over which there had been or
was likely to be bitterness would an
swer the purpose far better and be
eminently more just to the record of
Mr. Cleveland.
More emphatic than all these men
was Judge "VVade, of Iowa. He said
that every proposition in the Cleve
land resolution which might give rise
to controversy should be "pulled out by
the roots." Continuing, he eaid:
"If tiie frlenhs and the enemies of
Mr. Bryan threaten to dispute over this
question, then the friends of Mr. Cleve
land will insist that there shall be no
party quarrels n paying to his memory
the respect which his honorable service
to the party deserves."
ITAH IS STRONG FOR BRYAN

Gray Second Choice.
DENVER, July 2. Judge O. W. Pow
ers, chairman of the Utah delegation to
the convention. Is among the arrivals
in the city, although the delegation
will not be here for several days.
"We are for Bryan first, last and all
the time." declared Judge Powers to
day. "The delegation Is instructed and
bound by the unit rule. I could cast
the votes today if necessary."
Judge Powers is wearing a Gray but
ton, but when the Bryan delegates look
somewhat askance at the emblem, he
smilingly assured them that Gray is
Utah's choice for second place.
The Mormon question did not enter
into the selection of the Utah delega
tion this year, the personnel being
made up of members of the party both
in and out of the church. The Utah
delegates may, however, be drawn into
a fight that is to be precipitated by the
contesting delegations from Idaho.
The so-called anti-Morman delegation
from that state, which claims also to be
the regularly selected delegation, is
headed by former Senator Fred T. Du
bois who. it is said, will make a fight
before the committee on resolutions to
have an anti-Morman or anti-polygamy
plank, included in the platform.
The second delegation rrom Idano is
headed by James H. Hawley and John
F. Nugent, of Boise, who are expected
in Denver tomorrow morning in ad
vance of the Dubois delegates.
PIGSLKY WOVLI NOT REFUSE
New Yorker Regards Vice-Presidency
as High Honor.
CHICAGO. July 2. The New York
delegation, including representatives of
Tammany, arrived In Chicago today, en
route to the Democratic convention, and
will reach Denver tomorrow. Alton B.
Tarker, Democratic candidate for Pres
ident in 1904, and William F. Sheehan,
of New York, left over the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. The
majority went over the Rock Island,
among them being Charles F. Murphy,
chief of the Tammany organization,
and Thomas F. Smith, secretary: Lewis
Nixon, Herman Ridder and Daniel F.
Coalon.
Cornelius A. Pugsley, of New York,
who has been mentioned for the Vice
Preeldentlal nomination, also arrived In
Chicago today, and will leave for Den
ver tonight.
"I am not seeking the nomination for
the Vice-Presidency," said Mr. Pugsley.
"Nevertheless. I appreciate the enthusi
astic work of my friends in the State
of New York and throughout the coun
try to advance my political Interests.
If the second place on the ticket should
go to the Empire State, and I am favor
ably considered for the nomination, I
could not well refuse, for it is an
honor worthy the ambition of any
man."
Judge Parker and the various New
York leaders conferred informally on
the trip from New York to Chicago
and an understanding was reached to
look over the field at Denver and lis
cuss the situation from other states be
fore taking up any decided line of
action either as to men or measures.
The tendency is strong toward secur
ing conservative action, but instead of
giving out interviews and adopting a
literary campaign, they expect to ac
complish more by a quiet caucus
among the delegations of other states.
Herman Ridder. of New York, will
stop at Lincoln on his way to Denver
in order to have a talk with Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Ridder is not favorable to Bryan's
nomination and It is understood he
will tell the Nebraska leader plainly
that the Interests of the party would
be best served by the choice of another
candidate.
WATTERSOX POURS OUT AXGER
Calls Parker and His Clique Ghouls
and Body-Snatehers.
LOUISVILLE, July 2. Commenting
upon the report from New York last night
that Alton B. Parker had been selected
to present resolutions at the Denver
convention upon ex-President Cleve
land's death. Colonel Henry Watterson
said:
"The attempt to drag the dead body of
Grover Cleveland from its new-made
grave into the tumult of a National con
vention will deceive no one. An inva
sion of the grief of the noble lady who
weeps amid the silence and the solitude
of the granite hills, a blow at party con
cord, it is the act of a shameless hypo
crite. Nor was ever a professional ghoul
inspired by a more mercenary spirit, be
cause the sole aim and end of the Mur-phy-Conners
crowd. aided by Judge
Parker, is the perpetuation of the ascend
ency of the Belmont-Ryan combination,
to which Democracy owes Its "last ig
nominious and well-deserved defeat. It
was Belmont-Ryan money that financed
Judge Parker's campaign for the nom
ination in 1904. It was Belmont-Ryan
money that nominated him and it was
the Belmont-Ryan tag that made an
anti-trust movement under such a brand
absurd and Impossible.
"It is deemed fitting that, having made
sacrifices for predatory wealth. Judge
Parker should have his recompense in a
rich law practice in the City of New
York, he has had it and with it and its
enrichment he should rest well content.
That he should emerge from this highly
paid obscurity to make trouble through
sheer malevolence were pitiable InJeed;
but that he should appear, backed by
money of the trust magnates and trac
tion thieves, appealing to Jefferson and
Tilden over the dead body of Cleveland
stretched upon the dissecting table, is
disgraceful.
Cleveland's Enemies Behind Move.
"It is not only disgraceful, but its mo
tive is grotesquely and transparently ob
vious. The wing of the Democratic party
In the State of New York to which Judge
Parker and the group with which he is
now acting belong was the David Bennett
Hill wing. They were the inveterate, the
implacable, enemies of Grover Cleveland.
They hated him and he hated them. Al
though amid the gloom of defeat a kind
of truce was reached, there was never a
real amnesty or oblivion on either side,
so that the scheme to recall the shade
of Cleveland and to set this up as a
death-head in comedy of a mock funeral
would be too dastardly and too ghastly
for belief. If it were not the last desperate
play of a clique of discredited politicians
seeking to rule or to ruin at any cost.
"Standing about the open grave of Mr.
Cleveland, those of us who knew him
but did not always approve him or agree
with him were not only willing that by
gones should be bygones, but that the
good alone should live after him. He is
dead. He sleeps with those that went
before, from Jefferson to Tilden. and his
tory can be trusted to do him no injus
tice. "Resurrected at Princeton and pro
claimed at Denver, his name spells Fire
brand and only Firebrand, and Firebrand
is the sole initiative and purpose of the
body-snatchers who prdpose to use It to
conjure dissension, whilst they try to
corrupt delegates. '
Only Hope Is in Bryan.
"In Mr. Bryan and a reunited party
Democrats saw hope of victory. On none
other was there the smallest hope of
union. That they reason truly has been
shown by the fact that with the Ryan
Belmont 'barT on tap and its agents
flying about In every direction, state
after state, refusing to be tampered with
or tainted, has declared for the Nebras
kan. Seeing this. Judge Parker is put
forward to deliver the final stroke of the
bravo, and under the pretense of honor
ing the memory of Cleveland to plunge
a blade reeking with poison, artfully pre
pared, into the heart of Democracy. That
he should lend himself to such a villiany
will engulf him in the scorn of honorable
men and the detestation of the thought
ful Democrats.
Can Defeat, but Can't Debauch.
"There is no more reason why a Demo
cratic National convention go out of its
way to signalize one former Democratic
President than another; why it should
rush upon Cleveland with a frenzy of
words than with a hysterical shriek it
should rush upon Buchanan, earch
Buchanan and Cleveland having had the
misfortune to divide the party. The
spectacle .In the case of Mr. Buchanan
would lack common sense. ' In the cas
of Mr. Cleveland It lacks both common
sense and common decency. As well dig
up the will of Mr. Tilden. which Judge
Parker decided against the instructions
and wishes of the sage of Graystone and
make it the subject of eulogy for the sake
of controversy: as well invoke the spirits
of the warring Democrats In 1860 and
seek to force the Douglas men to pay
tribute to the Breckenririge men.
"Under any condition and from ' any
quarter the proposal to revitalize old
quarrels by preamble and resolution on
the threshold of a National movement
would be thrown out as Insane. Coming
from Conners and Murphy, from Belmont
and Ryan, from Parker and Sheehan. It
will be thrown out as infamous. They
may defeat us, but they cannot de
bauch us."

DENVER, July 2. John P. O'Malley,

Mr. O'Malley says that the Iowa dele

"There are two things," said Mr.
O'Malley, "that our delegation will cer

Injunction plank in the platform, and
the other is a law guaranteeing bank
deposits. These are practically the only
prospective planks of the platform that

I myself am a banker, and I heartily

Bryan Asks O'Brien to Meet Htm at
Lincoln.
DENVER, July 2. Mr. Bryan has asked
for a conference with T. D. O'Brien, of
Minnesota, one of the most enthusiastic
supporters of Governor John A. Johnson,
but for what purpose the managers of
the Johnson campaign have no idea. Mr.
O'Brien will leave St. Paul for Denver
tomorrow and has wired the Johneou
headquarters in this city that he has been
asked by Mr. Bryan to stop off for a
short time. It is generally supposed by
the Johnson men that Mr. Bryan wishes
to talk over the Vice-Presidential situa
tion. That, at least. Is the only ground
they can Imagine for the request of Mr.
Bryan.
They discounted any results from the
conference, provided it should turn out to
be on that subject, by declaring that
Johnson will not consent under any cir
cumstances to be considered as available
for the second place on the ticket.
